### Understand stake_amount
The `stake_amount` configuration parameter is an amount of crypto-currency your bot will use for each trade.
The minimal value is 0.0005. If there is not enough crypto-currency in
the account an exception is generated.
The minimal configuration value is 0.0001. Please check your exchange's trading minimums to avoid problems.
This setting works in combination with `max_open_trades`. The maximum capital engaged in trades is `stake_amount * max_open_trades`.
For example, the bot will at most use (0.05 BTC x 3) = 0.15 BTC, assuming a configuration of `max_open_trades=3` and `stake_amount=0.05`.
To allow the bot to trade all the available `stake_currency` in your account set
```json
"stake_amount" : "unlimited",
```
In this case a trade amount is calclulated as:
In this case a trade amount is calculated as:
```python
currency_balance / (max_open_trades - current_open_trades)
